Abstract
This research study analyzes teacher training in order to promote and manage coexistence at secondary education schools by means of a description of students’ behaviors and by providing some proposals for improvement. We used a documentary analysis of university teacher training programs and a descriptive and assessment questionnaire of students’ behaviors towards coexistence and teachers´ reactions at five schools with a high immigration rate. Also, we developed a teacher focus group in order to put forwards some suggestions for improving these contexts. Results show a lack of training of teachers on these issues, significant differences in the assessment of certain behaviors measured by gender and teaching experience, disapproving responses by both males and females teachers, and a limited use of educational strategies that might improve coexistence at schools.
